    Stainless Steel Body

    Freehand permanent markings on a variety of materials. These engravers are often used to mark tools and equipment for easy identification and tracking. Adjust the stroke speed to control the depth of your marks. Low stroke speed creates shallow lines and is best for soft materials, such as plastic and wood. High stroke speed creates deep lines and is best for hard materials, such as metal.
    Stainless Steel Body—More durable than plastic to stand up to wear over time. These engravers last longer and won’t get damaged in your toolbox.
    Carbide—The standard choice for engraving a variety of materials. Carbide tips are hard enough to mark metal and can also be used on plastic and wood.
    Steel Tip—Ideal for engraving soft materials, such as plastic, wood, and leather. Steel tips are less durable than carbide tips.
    Diamond Tip—The most durable tip material. Diamond tips are the best choice for marking extra-hard materials, such as ceramic, glass, and stone.

    Air-Powered Engraver Kits

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Engravers. Air-Powered Engraver Kits.
    Use these kits for everything from permanently marking materials to cleaning and finishing surfaces. They come with all you need to get started, including an engraver, four types of tips, and a tip holder. The engraver is more powerful than an electric option, so you can make the same markings in fewer passes and with less effort. A continuous dial lets you adjust the stroke speed to control the depth of your marks. Low stroke speed creates shallow lines and is best for soft materials, such as wood and plastic. High stroke speed creates deep lines and is best for hard materials, such as metal. When swapping in another tip style, you must secure it in the engraver with the included tip holder. These engravers need lubrication to work properly.
    Carbide Tip—The standard choice for engraving a variety of materials. Carbide tips are hard enough to mark metal and can also be used on plastic and wood.
    Steel Tip—Ideal for engraving soft materials, such as plastic, wood, and leather. Steel tips are less durable than carbide tips.
    Angled-Chisel Tip—A great choice for cleaning weld beads.
    Flat Tip—Grind these tips into a shape that works for your application.
    Flat-Chisel Tip—Best for scaling and deburring.

    Calipers for Scribing

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Calipers. Calipers for Scribing.
    Precisely mark lines and measure workpieces with the same tool. The carbide jaws are hard enough to press into wood, metal, and other surfaces without dulling over time. One jaw extends further than the other, so you can hold it against the side of your workpiece to keep it steady as you scribe.
    With an LCD display, these calipers give instant measurements—no need to count graduations. Swap between inch and metric or set the position to zero, all with the press of a button.
    With SPC Data Output—Send measurements to a computer to store, analyze, and manage data. You'll need a USB data cable or SPC wireless transmitter and receiver.
    With SPC Data Output and Zigbee Connection—Wirelessly send measurements to an SPC receiver (sold separately) to store, analyze, and manage data on your computer.

    Deep Marking Air-Powered Engravers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Engravers. Deep Marking Air-Powered Engravers.
    Our fastest, deepest-cutting handheld engravers create marks that stay crisp and clear, even with wear and tear over time. With 30,000 strokes per minute, they can also make deep markings on hard materials. However, you can’t adjust their high stroke speed, so they may be too fast for shallow marking and engraving legibly on soft materials. These engravers need lubrication to work properly.
    Carbide Tip—Hard enough to mark metal and can also be used on plastic and wood.
